Sheppard Ave E & Idagrove Gt

Traffic volume8-hour count · Apr 1, 2023 · weekend

The west leg carries the load — 3,186 eastbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 121. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,062 vehicles in the hour from 2:00 p.m., 128% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (466). Heavy vehicles made up 3.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2023, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

Peak hours: 466 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,062 from 2:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m

2023 was the peak year (6 collisions), and 2025 closed with 3. 25% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 10 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 28% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 8% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Mar 5, 2026.

No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 2 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Nov 19, 2015.

A collision counts when its recorded location is within 65 m of the centreline node, intersection-related or not. KSI = killed or seriously injured, the basis of the danger rankings; records can lag a year or more, so the current year is outside the window. How collisions are counted.

Speeds here, last measured in 2019

The City's counter on Sheppard Ave E between Hedge End Rd and Meadowvale Rd (260 m away) recorded an average of 63 km/h in its 7-day count in October 2019; 85% of drivers were at or under 73 km/h. That segment carries about 14,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; 85% of drivers were at or below the 85th-percentile speed. A reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data. How speeds are read.

Our own measure, not a licensed walkability rating: every point comes from a City dataset listed under Sources, and the six parts add up to the score. How the score is built · the full ranking.

One registered apartment building with 249 rental units stands within a kilometre of the corner — well below the median of 15. The nearest is 1 Dean Park Rd (736 m, 249 units, 16 storeys, built 1979), which scored 87 out of 100 at its September 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation.

1 registered building · 249 units · tallest 16 storeys. The score is the City's RentSafeTO evaluation out of 100; buildings of three or more storeys and ten or more units are registered, condominiums and houses are not. Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport.

Toronto Police place one theft from a vehicle and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025.

Police offset every occurrence to the nearest intersection before publishing, so these are thefts on the streets and premises around this node, not necessarily at the corner itself. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see West Rouge.
